When Stephanie Spears began dating Manuel Benitez Velasco in 1996, she had no idea he was former child actor Mark Everett. Manny, as we'll refer to him in this episode, co-starred in several TV shows and movies, most notably "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." Once the spotlight faded, however, Manny's path took a dark and dangerous turn.
